Genea-Journal - Monday, 2 March 2020

I'm back from RootsTech and ready to roll.  It seemed easier this time, perhaps because I didn't walk as much (didn't have Linda to push in the wheelchair) and took Trax to the hotel.  I averaged about 9,000 steps from Wednesday to Saturday, or about 3 miles each day. 

My exploits at RootsTech are on Genea-Musings - see:

*  Watched the Ron Tanner and Lisa Cooke videos from RootsTech while trying to move photos into file folders.  Not sure I learned anything.  Wrote Were Shubel and Rebecca (Mead) Knapp the Parents of William Knapp (1775-1856)?

*  Took a 90 minute nap...up at 3:45 p.m. to read, answer email, add to the compendium post, and check Facebook.

*  Went in at 5:15 p.m. to eat dinner, watch TV and read the paper, then do the dishes.

*  Online at 6:30 p.m. to read, write the two Saturday posts, then researched and wrote Searching the New Findmypast U.S. Marriage Collection.

*  Worked through about 100 Ancestry Hints adding content and sources to the database.  sources now at 69,332.

*  Read email and blogs, checked Facebook, and wrote this post.  Genealogy today was 10.0 hours.

My Genealogy Day - 11 February 2016

12 blog posts, one ancestor researched, FHL photos transferred, a visit to the care center, and dinner out.  That was my day!

*  Read email and blogs, then wrote Treasure Chest Thursday Post 300: 1777 Military Records of Jeremiah Knowlton (1745-1785), Suzanne Winsor Freeman Memorial Student Genealogy Grant Applications Invited and Findmypast Announces Strategic Investment In Twile, Winner of Two Innovation Awards at RootsTech 2016 and set them about two hours apart.

*  I had neglected the CVGS blog for two weeks, so wrote 7 blog posts there, including the Research Group summary from Wednesday.  

*  Transferred the FHL photos from the iCloud file to the FHL folder in To be filed.  159 of them.  Haven't named them yet.  Answered email and added to the Best Of and RootsTech Compendium posts.

*  Had lunch, then wrote RootsTech 2016 Highlights: What's Coming for Ancestry.com?  Took a well-deserved nap!

*  We left at 2:45 p.m. for Barbara's to visit and take her mail.  Went to El Pollo Loco for dinner and Coldstone for ice cream, and home by 6 p.m.  Watched TV news and read the paper.

*  Online at 6:30 p.m. to work on Jeremiah Knowlton's events.  Searched for deeds and found three, downloaded, named and abstracted them.  Then wrote notes for all of the events, added them into the Person note, and sourced everything.  Need to write the post on Friday.

*  Answered email, downloaded CVGS photos from Diane and put them in the CVGS file, added to the RootsTech Compendium post, checked Facebook and wrote this post (#12 for the day).  Whew.  Genealogy today was 9.0 hours.
